Revenue
Closed Won
An opportunity state indicating a deal was successfully sold.
Definition
Closed Won marks a completed sale and is a key endpoint for pipeline and attribution analysis.
Why It Matters
It is the core output metric used for revenue reporting and forecast validation.
Practical Interpretation
Anchor this term to a stage definition and a decision cadence, not just monthly reporting. Closed Won should be connected to specific owners and review moments so decisions are repeatable.
